+
+We’re excited to announce [Swift], [Kotlin], [Python], and [JavaScript] bindings with first-party support for iroh!
+
+To get started with the bindings, follow the [getting-started guide for your language of choice].
+
+The bindings expose **QUIC data streams**. From any device, you can quickly open a direct connection to any other device, either across the room or across the world, as long as you know its [**EndpointId**][EndpointId].
+
+As endpoints connect, you can monitor their direct data rate: the percentage of traffic sent directly between devices instead of over [relays]. Expect a 95–99% direct connection rate, depending on your use case and where in the world you deploy. Connections are always end to end encrypted using TLS.
+
+## Platforms supported
+
+Iroh supports all major platforms:
+
+- iOS
+- macOS (arm64, no Intel build)
+- Android
+- Linux
+- Windows
+- FreeRTOS
+
+For per-language details, see the [platform support matrix].
+
+## Quick accelerometer demo
+
+For an out-of-the-box demo, check out our [accelerometer demo].
+
+Each peer controls one dot in a shared coordinate space. You move your dot by tilting the phone or dragging on the desktop, and you stream its position to the other peer at ~60 Hz over an iroh bi-directional stream. The peer renders your dot at the same coordinates next to its own, so both screens show the two dots tracking each other in real time.
+
+The two peers are fully symmetric. While connected, a line under the status shows the connection's [live network paths] — direct vs. relay, remote address, and RTT — so you can watch iroh [hole-punch] its way from a relayed connection to a direct one.
+

+
+## Sending streaming data
+
+Once [two endpoints are connected], you talk over plain QUIC streams. Open a bi-directional stream with `openBi()` on the dialing side and accept it with `acceptBi()` on the other, then write bytes into one end and read them out the other. Streams are ordered, backpressured, and end-to-end encrypted, and a single connection can carry as many of them as you need. There's no broker or polling loop in the middle.
+
+Most apps will have a similar shape in every language:
+
+- a **send loop**
+- a **receive loop**
+
+Here's what that looks like in Swift for the accelerometer demo:
+
+```swift
+// Dial a peer anywhere in the world by its EndpointId
+let addr = EndpointAddr(id: peerId, relayUrl: nil, addresses: [])
+let conn = try await endpoint.connect(addr: addr, alpn: WireFormat.alpn)
+let bi = try await conn.openBi() // the other side calls conn.acceptBi()
+
+// Send loop: stream your dot's position at ~60 Hz
+Task {
+    let send = bi.send()
+    while !Task.isCancelled {
+        let frame = WireFormat.encodePosition(x: game.myPos.x, y: game.myPos.y)
+        try await send.writeAll(buf: frame)
+        try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 16_666_000)
+    }
+}
+
+// Receive loop: read the peer's frames as they arrive
+Task {
+    let recv = bi.recv()
+    while !Task.isCancelled {
+        let body = try await recv.readExact(size: WireFormat.positionFrameSize)
+        if let pos = WireFormat.decodePosition(body) {
+            game.receivedTheirPos(x: pos.x, y: pos.y)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Monitor your application performance
+
+In any of the languages, you can also diagnose application performance and see direct data rate per endpoint by connecting an [Iroh Services] [API key].
+
+In Swift, for example, it’s one call to enable services monitoring:
+
+```swift
+let client = try await ServicesClient.create(
+    endpoint: endpoint,
+    options: ServicesOptions(apiSecret: "YOUR_API_KEY", name: "my-endpoint")
+)
+```
+
+The [metrics dashboard] helps you answer questions like:
+
+- How many endpoints are online right now?
+- How much of my traffic is direct vs. relayed? High relay usage can signal application code or deployment issues.
+- What is my throughput over time: data sent and received, broken down by connection type (direct IPv4, direct IPv6, or relayed)?
+- What version of iroh are my endpoints running?
+
+### Diagnosing a connectivity issue
+
+From any of the bindings, you can manually submit a network diagnostics report to iroh services:
+
+```swift
+try await client.submitNetworkDiagnostics(send: true)
+```
+
+This sends a [network diagnostics report], covering NAT type, UDP connectivity, relay latency, port mapping protocol availability, and direct addresses. Everything you need to debug connection issues.
+
+## Future work
+
+Right now, the bindings support creating real-time data streams between two or more devices. In the future, we’d like to also add support for popular use cases, such as [RPC], [gossip], [blobs] and [documents].
+
+Soon we will also introduce out of the box [mDNS] and [Bluetooth] support in the FFI; right now, these are Rust-only features because the custom address-lookup and transport APIs they build on aren't 100% stable yet. Stay tuned.
+
+You don’t have to wait, though: the stream API is already everything you need to build production-grade powerful, low-latency apps today.
